Editing objects
Editing objects involves moving, copying, and deleting selected objects as well as
modifying the attributes of the selected object. These attributes include color,
style, fill, pen, and condition. An additional modifiable attribute is the database
point variable selection. Conditions and Symbols can also be edited or deleted.
Most of the editing options are found under the Edit menu. This section describes
the different techniques used to edit a graphic
Editing techniques
Before an object in the graphic or symbol can be changed or modified, the object
must be selected.
Deleting an object
You can delete objects by selecting the Delete command in the Edit menu or by
pressing SHIFT+DEL.
Next & previous
The Next and Previous commands allow the user to change the selected object
based on its layered position i.e. selecting overlapped objects.
• Next (PgUp) allows you to select an object from the back (or bottom) to the
front (or top).
• Previous (PgDn) allows you to select an object from the front (or top) of the
layers to the back (or bottom).
Attributes
All objects found under the Add menu item can be edited using the same initial
procedure.
Push to back & pull to front
Use the Push to Back and Pull to Front commands to change an object’s relation
to another in your display. If one object appears in front (or on top) of another on
the screen, you can modify that arrangement so the objects “switch places” in
relation to each other.
